Originally created exclusively for attendees of the Window Film Conference & Tint-Off 2025, now available to the public for the first time.
The Coaches Playbook is a hands-on leadership and business workbook developed by Austin Cook and introduced live at WFCT 2025. Built specifically for window film, paint protection, and vinyl wrap shop owners, this playbook focuses on what actually separates businesses that scale from those that stay stuck.
If your business feels dependent on you to function, or growth has started to plateau, this gives you a clear structure to fix it.
Austin has used these same principles to build multiple 7-figure businesses and coach hundreds of shop owners across the industry. Now, that same framework is available for you to implement directly.
